Wine biscuits, known as "cantucci" or "biscotti," originate from the Tuscany region of Italy, particularly associated with the city of Prato. These twice-baked cookies are traditionally made with almonds and are often enjoyed with a glass of Vin Santo, a sweet dessert wine. The combination of the crunchy biscuits and the wine creates a delightful pairing that is popular throughout Italy and beyond.

Amaretti biscuits come from Italy I believe they come from a town called Saronno, where Amaretto (the liquor) is made. This liquor is used in the preparation of Amaretto biscuits. Amaretto is not far from Milan and in the eighties there was a cute looking train that took you there. Maybe it still runs.
Wine is a major export of Italy.
Italy exports wine to the whole world.
Classic Italian biscuits include cantucci which are typical of Tuscany and normally eaten dipped in sweet wine. They are extremely hard and the wine tends to soften them up a little. By way of contrast Krumiri from Monferrato in Piemote are crumbly. They were invented in 1878 and named after a popular liqueur of the time. Garibaldi biscuits may seem to be the most famous of all Italian biscuits but were invented in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi, famous father to the modern Italian state during a trip abroad. No one in Italy has ever seen or eaten one to the best of our knowledge
